CONTEST

Make Your Own Heritage Minute!

Have you ever wanted to make your own Heritage Minute? We’re inviting Canadian students and educators to explore the legacy of the Fathers of Confederation and Sir John A., through the creation of their own Heritage Minute-style video.

The contest is open to Canadian students in grades 5-12 and grade 5 to secondary V in Québec.

Educator Learning Tools

Drawing upon the work of The Historical Thinking Project framework, these learning tools offer students an introduction to the history and legacy of Macdonald and the founding Fathers of Confederation. While completing activities found in the tools, students will be asked to think critically about Canadian Confederation by examining cause and consequence as well as the importance of evidence in order to draw meaningful conclusions. Students will also be asked to exercise their creativity and knowledge of Sir John A. Macdonald and the Fathers of Confederation by creating their own Heritage Minute.
